Becca Told Me To

Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, New Brunswick teenager Becca Schofield decided her life would be more than just about herself… and her legacy would be about spreading goodness and love. It was about doing good deeds, one random act of kindness at a time.

She founded the ‘Becca Told me To Movement’ where individuals performed random acts of kindness then posted these to social media at . She wanted to be a vessel of goodness and to know that she would continue on in the good deeds of others.

Sadly, Becca lost her fight against cancer on February 17, 2018 at the too young age of 18.

Today is a day you can help Becca with her wish to spread kindness in our world. Take a few minutes and do something nice for someone, maybe you know them, and maybe you don’t. And most importantly, take the time to post it on social media with hashtag: . By doing this you will be honouring a young person’s wish to make this world a better place to live in.

1976, a Year of Firsts and Starts

It was a busy year in Canada with the CN Tower opening on June 26 in time for Canada Day celebrations. Parliament voted to abolish the death penalty, the Timbit made its debut and Montreal welcomed the world to the Summer Olympics, an unforgettable games that saw 14-year-old Nadia Comaneci receive the first ever perfect gymnastic score. On the international front, the G6 became the G7 with the inclusion of Canada as a member.

In science, space travel witnessed the successful landing of the Viking 1 on Mars and the release of the famous “Face on Mars” photo captured by this space craft; later in the year, Viking 2 would also arrive at our planetary neighbour and take the first close-up colour photographs of the planet’s surface.

Technology was big news in 1976 with the formation of many tech giants that continue to be successful to this day. Apple Computer Company was formed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak with the first personal computer, the Apple I, available to the hobbyist market. Later that year, little-known company, Microsoft, was officially registered as a company and IBM introduced the first commercial laser printer.

In entertainment, moviegoers flocked to see Redford and Hoffman in “All the President’s Men,” Sylvester Stallone in “Rocky” and Robert De Niro in “Taxi Driver.” The most popular tv shows of the year were Happy Days, MASH and Laverne and Shirley. In literature readers flipped the pages of Alex Haley’s “Roots, The Saga of an American Family.” In music, Paul McCartney’s “Silly Love Songs” topped the charts.
